Static Mountain will be returning to the stage tonight when they open for Ed Shrader’s Music Beat at Kung Fu Necktie. The local quartet (featuring Greg Foran and Matt Williams of Lightninging) has been tucked away in the studio working on its next album. They excitedly unleashed their latest single, "Silver & Gold," which is a glimpse at the type of epic psych rock that the group is working on refining, clocking in at eight minutes plus with mountain-climbing harmonies and heavy power chord licks. They’ll also be joined by North Carolina-based, Syd Barrett-esque singer-songwriter Jackson Scott. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Alexis V.
